Paramore have a duty to ruin good festival lineups and bring us all down, nobody does it like them. However, I think Melvin may be keen to have them headline soon so I don't think they'll be back next year.
-
Do you know this for sure?
-
Their O2 dates won't but their US dates will
-
Death From Above 1979 are probably gonna be back in UK next year and with a new album and R+L being almost the only festival they're really cut out for. Played 3rd on NME last year and did a couple of sell out shows too, albeit with the infamous reunion hype.
NME subs? Or even headliner if album goes well and they get on the cover of NME; any thoughts?
-
Also regarding the Manics, they were probably bigger during their peak.
-
you may have a point mate, I agree with your years thing, KOL for V does seem more likely and have history with T as shared.
But cause both Green Day and KOL look likely for T, it's Green Day I think we'll get in 2014, not KOL. R&L has more a history in recent years of having a T header from the year before than V. Also a lot probably due to V's ever changing list of acts.
-
Yeah it was 2005 (?) the year System & Feeder headlined.
It is possible an Ozzfest day may happen but I doubt it as they didn't bother with it last year at Download and the others they were meant to play.
-
Say, the band announced before Christmas are Sabbath, when the intentions of an Ozzfest stage full of metal acts gets announced in place of the mainstage for one day. Somewhat harms the chances of Sonisphere making a successful comeback, and just in time for Christmas as many have said. I mean this would be risky and unexpected for R+L but there'd be the extra 'stages' and obviously festivals have to take risks now.
I'm not saying I think this will happen, that'd be stupid, it's just an outside thought. Any thoughts on this?
-
I heard Libs got paid more than Guns & Blink and Arcade were paid the most due to FR matching the their charitable donations they make with all the fees but it's all hear say and rumours but wasn't the point you were making that V makes big money deals for acts and R&L can't to the same extent?
It's simple R&L has and will get some a bunch of acts on their reunions and V/IOW/V/Glasto will get others.
-
Possible but it wasn't that long ago they played and didn't they go on twitter as soon as they finished playing Reading calling the crowd fucking shit and they need to show the Kings love or some other bullshit.
-
Kings of Leon have been announced for Optimus Alive in Portugal next year, one of the festivals the Cure headlined before doing R/L. I know that doesn't mean anything concrete, but surely it puts them in the picture.
-
I reckon a top 3 of Wombats/Noah/Alt-J (not necessarily in that order) would cater for the indie lot on Sabbath night
-
Have Alt-J got enough material for a headline slot?
If they play all their songs, jam at the end of each one, and do an encore, I think they'll still fall short.
-
Debatable, have you seen v lineups last couple of years?
-
Are hurts big enough to headline nme? If not where do you think there going to play.
-
I don't think Fall Out Boy would have a substantial 'reunion hype' as the majority of their old fans will have grown up and grown out of their music.

In the end of the day no one knows what direction reading festival will take, especially after 2 years of slower ticket sales.
Is it trying to get an older audience, as its agreed its mostly aimed at the younger audience. With the cure, potentially black sabbath perhaps its trying to go in another direction.
If its still going to be aimed at 16-21 perhaps there will be more and more urban music coming into the festival as Far as my nieces and nephews go that what there listenting to. Is there the same interest in bands reading have booked in the last 5 years?
-
Haha good one, still not moved on or accepting facts then.
-
Depeche Mode would be a great 4th headliner for R+L.
-
Talking of The Smiths, I had a feeling Morrissey could do UK fests in 2013, with his UK part of a very thorough world tour being quite vague, and he's definitely not reuniting with Marr.
Seems a good fit for a R+L sub/ Latitude headline.
-
Your condradicting yourself.
One minute you say its the last band on and another time it isnt.
-
Have they announced US dates yet though? I assumed they are doing the US August/September, which would rule them out. Rob says they are definitely in the US for Bestival
-
As a rule the thurday headliner does not end the day but a dance act does, this happened on 3 days this year.
Very similar to last year when maiden headlined and black eyed peas closed the festival. In my opinion it as there old bands maiden/dm, it keeps the younger audience there for the younger band especially as editors are werchter favorites.
